This might be in my top 3 for Valentino fragrances. There is a very slight chemical opening after applying, but it quickly fades to a nice citrus and spicy vanilla. This scent is very similar to another I have in my collection, but I can't put my nose on it. After a few hours, the scent stays fairly close to the skin. I would recommend reapplying after several hours.
very good party fragrance leans feminine because of floral notes but insane longevity and projection. Also best atomizer of all time.
You find your kid's backpack from 4 years ago and there are a bunch of stray Chocolate Teddy Grahams in the bottom. Then for some reason you spray hairspray in it and huff it hard. That's Chocolate Greedy.
Nuclear strength neroli. Like, the neroli in this is as strong as the orange blossom in Beach Hut Man. So be careful with the sprays!
God tier perfume. Reference level
A beautiful potent leafy green tobacco dipped in honey and left to dry on a musky vetiver. Very classy. Mental expensive.
Summer fragrance
One of JPGs better fragrances, I prefer this to the Le Male Elixir, but not as much as Ultra Male. Definitely a scent heavy on vanilla nd spice, I wouldn't recommend this for closed quarter office settings. Decent staying power. Definitely worth adding to any collection.
An Arctic glacier with A cold wind . This is how it smells . It’s hard to imagine until you smell it. More of an artistic wear but shines quite well in winter as it’s quite strong , cuts the air cleanly
imo most underrated and also nicest PDM, don’t try on a test strip as I don’t find u get the notes fully try on skin . It’s a beautiful crisp apple with strong woodsy smell. imagine you live in an apple orchard
As a lover of anything orange/ mandarin, this is a very beautifully mandarin juicy smell. It’s linear and it’s pretty much only mandarin however It smells like freshly juices mandarins and is beautiful
Imo the best Versace fragrance, can be picked up for £15/30 a beautiful lavender smell. Can wear anytime absolute hidden gem
Very delicate floral scent, not too overpowering . Would advise over spraying and onto clothes also. Could be a nice scent for spring as it’s uplifting and light
First thing I’ve smelled that Rosendo Mateu worked on that I didn’t love. I heard that there was a big cumin note that was really challenging. I got a mini dabber bottle. I got none of it. Instead I got main notes I hate in perfumes. That dingy 80’s cinnamon note found in things like Halston Z-14, ODL Pour Lui, and Bijan man, and a loud ambery/powder note I also find to be sickening. I wanted to like this. This is really dated and likely to be enjoyed by nobody near you. Maybe it’ll grow on me.
While I do offer a couple of comps to this fragrance, there really is no substitute. Sauvage Elixir gets a lot of hate for being overused, but there is a reason that it has been so popular. This is a great cologne. Manly, spicy, musky...the sillage is great and the longevity is outstanding. I've worn a number of colognes, both designer and niche. This is the only one that I've been complimented on. So, yes, I will praise this cologne as the GOAT.
Saying that Winners Trophy resembles Valentino BiR Intense may be a bit of a stretch. But, there are some similarities between them. The biggest differences would be the earthy and powdery notes that Valentino adds to round out the fragrance. At its price point, you can't beat Winners Trophy. But, for a little more, I would recommend BiR Intense. You won't regret that purchase.
Haltane is one of my top 5 fragrances. This is definitely a more mature cologne, I'm not sure how much a teenager would enjoy this (I may be wrong). The praline addition is what separates this from its dupes. A nice blend of woody oud and leather, tis is a year round fragrance for me.
Herod is an amazing scent. A subtle tobacco note under a warm amber/woody scent that is very appealing. I won't fully accept that Hercules by Maison Alhambra is a 100% match, but it is a solid substitute for the cost savings. Herod is simply unmatched in the depth of aroma that you get upon application.
To me, smells slightly to BO, not in a bad way but not pleasant, tried multiple times to see if i could acquire the taste for the scent but really tough to wear for me, seeing if letting it macerate would improve the scent
Eau Duelle EDP is your Chaotic Vanilla.
A dry woody fragrance with a backdrop of frosted vanilla, sharp yet subtle. The prominent cypriol note gives a gloomy cabin-like vibe. It is somewhat incensey in a smokey way, and slightly reminiscent of evergreen trees in the forest. It's a very "cold" scent rather than warming, undeniably wintery. Linear, if that matters.
Beautiful scent, reminiscent of vintage cologne-type of fragrances for women. Amazing longevity!
Mancera is just known for beast mode fragrances. Amore Caffe is definitely one of them. This fragrance has both lasting power and sillage that are unmatched. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend this scent for confined office spaces, I say that tongue-in-cheek, as I will wear it to the office. The only comparison I could make for a cheaper option would be Tiramisu Coco by Zimaya, and they aren't really all that close. You can find Mancera products on discounters occasionally for a very affordable price. Considering that you only need 3 sprays of their scents, it's well worth the money.
Similar to Percival, in that no new ground is being broken with the scent profile, Layton still delivers an extremely solid every day scent. A nice mix of peppery spice, vanilla and green apple, this fragrance can be worn every day. Solid lasting power. Again, with PDM, the only drawback to their fragrances is the sticker shock when purchasing.
While it's not a hugely unique scent profile, Percival delivers a solid mix of common scents blended nicely for a solid everyday fragrance. The initial scent is very much like a fresh soap (in a really good way). When the dry down hits, you start to pick up that amber tone. It is a very nice scent. While you can likely find a similar scent profile for far cheaper, PDM just knows how to blend these notes perfectly. In my opinion, the PDM is worth it.
